Actually, it's more like the wisdom of the many,

but I once deliberately used the word mass. May be between many and mass is a very big difference.
In his research, Surowiecki demonstrates how much better decisions can be decisions a group can make. If this was not the case, in his view, this was because the group members listened too much listening too much to other people's views and emulating them, instead of making up their own minds about the situation and differentiating.
This would confirm my thesis that a good democracy requires a correspondingly high level of awareness among the citizens among citizens.
This brings us closer to the difference between the many and the masses. Aren't we also talking about the dull masses? Is this just a lack of consciousness or perhaps also misguided consciousness?
Imagine the following test. You put several piles of cards stacks of cards on the table. They were asked to choose from the piles cards and to recognize a system. The cards were linked with losing or winning money.
The first stack offered high profit opportunities but high losses in the long term. high losses, the second offered low winning opportunities and losses in the long term, only the third stack led to long-term to long-term profits.
The results showed that some test subjects recognized the system after revealing of 30 cards, a large percentage recognized the system after 50 cards, but almost all after 70 cards.
The same tests were then carried out with one change. The test subjects were connected to a lie detector. Of course, this did not change the "conscious" results. of course nothing. However, the detector was already showing deflections with the 10th card drawn. From a mathematical point of view, revealing 10 cards was the minimum number needed to recognize the card system!
This means that the subconscious (which simultaneously takes in up to up to 40 million impulses at the same time, while the conscious mind only manages 4000), recognizes the truth much faster recognized.
However, it takes different lengths of time for the respective "superconscious" perceives or accepts this information. This suggests that, in principle, there is probably the wisdom of the many, because the collective subconscious works accordingly well.
But if we no longer have access to the perception of our own subconscious (our own intuition?), then it no longer works as Surowiecki describes it. no longer works, as Surowiecki describes it.
Why do we not perceive ourselves?
Apart from serious illnesses or defects, probably only because we have fallen "out of our midst", are "beside ourselves" and this is mostly based on fear.
Why these explanations?
Because, in my experience, I attribute the majority of my successes to to the fact that I have been able to emphasize the positive aspects of collective aspects of the collective of the collectivesubconscious and thus achieved successes that I would never have been able to achieve through my own knowledge and have been able to achieve.
A country's prosperity would be much easier to achieve if the press, bosses and parents refrained from scaremongering.
But each of us has the opportunity to do something for ourselves, to surround ourselves with fearless people, to stay away from fear-inducing media.
Let us encourage ourselves and others to confidently shape a better world.
Sincerely
Wolfgang Sonnenburg
